Detailing for your car

[SkeptiKal]

Hello.

I am a new registered user here but decided to join this website in hopes of detailing a few member's cars.

I started seriously detailing cars about 1.5 years ago when my aging 94 Integra was turning 18 different shades of red. Oxidation and swirls/scratches were abundant and it was time to do something, short of getting it repainted. I did my research and went about my business. Having successfully finished my frist job, I got a lot of compliments. What started out as doing family cars quickly turned into something bigger.

As the weather started to turn warmer and my detailing experience grew I decided to turn it into a part-time 'business'.

Im a believer in using high quality products. From Klasse to Zaino to Poorboy's, I can get my hands on all the high quality stuff that you may desire for your vehicle. I use a Porter Cable Orbital Polisher (7336) with Lake Country Pads. The extent of the detail is upto you. I do full multi-layered exterior details with an initial wash and claybar to a just a basic car wash using a high quality sheepskin mitt. The possibilty of customizing your detail will save you money and get you exacly what you want for your car's paint.
Things such as tires. windows, rims, exhaust tips, headlamps, trim, are never overlooked.

Enough with the jibber jabber, here come some pics (next post).

I recently did my friends 2000 Golf. It was in TERRIBLE shape and I thought the majority of the scratches on it were incorrectable.

This car was in bad shape. It was satisfying bring it back to a better condition. Having said that, I can not fix everything that is wrong with a car's paint surface. I try to get rid of 90% of paint defects, and do this in a manner that will not seriously sacrifice the depth of your clear coat.

====================================

My msn is nprodanovic@cogeco.ca and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I will be glad to answer all of them.

Its best to contact me for pricing as every car is different. Depending on how much work is needed and the steps that you desire. Nontheless, you will not over-pay and I will match or beat any price (from a reputable detail shop) for equivalent work. Product selection is upto you, but I recommend a certain product(s) when I see your car.

Hopefully, in the near future, I get to turn your BMW into a showroom car that it is.

Thanks,
Nick.

Good results!! :eek: I used to work in auto detailing as well. I'd have a lot of customers come in thinking that they needed a new paintjob but ended up being completely surprised at what a couple of hours of work would do to their neglected paint.

Thanks for the compliment!

Ya its amazing what can be done.

Things like finer scratches and oxidation can be removed, spending lots of money on a paint job (thousands) can be avoided.
